Adding new experimental arms to randomised clinical trials: impact on error rates [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Background: Experimental treatments pass through various stages of development. If a treatment passes through early phase experiments, the investigators may want to assess it in a late phase randomised controlled trial. An efficient way to do this is adding it as a new research arm to an ongoing trial.

Instrumental variable approaches for estimating complier average causal effects on bivariate outcomes in randomised trials with non-compliance [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
In Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT) with treatment non-compliance, instrumental variable approaches are used to estimate complier average causal effects. We extend these approaches to cost-effectiveness analyses, where methods need to recognise the correlation between cost and health outcomes.

Data Fusion for Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Estimation with Multi-Task Gaussian Processes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Bridging the gap between internal and external validity is crucial for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), favoured for their internal validity due to randomisation, often encounter challenges in generalising findings due to strict eligibility criteria.

Measurement and predictors of adherence in a trial of HSV suppressive therapy in Tanzania.

open access: yes, 2009
This study estimates adherence and identifies predictors of good adherence among 1305 Tanzanian women participating in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of HSV suppressive therapy to reduce HIV incidence or genital HIV shedding.

Making all pairwise comparisons in multi-arm clinical trials without control treatment [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
The standard paradigm for confirmatory clinical trials is to compare experimental treatments with a control, for example the standard of care or a placebo. However, it is not always the case that a suitable control exists. Efficient statistical methodology is well studied in the setting of randomised controlled trials.

A fast, flexible simulation framework for Bayesian adaptive designs -- the R package BATSS [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
The use of Bayesian adaptive designs for randomised controlled trials has been hindered by the lack of software readily available to statisticians. We have developed a new software package (Bayesian Adaptive Trials Simulator Software - BATSS for the statistical software R, which provides a flexible structure for the fast simulation of Bayesian adaptive
